I mean, 25k to 45k is not that far...

...I guess it is a little far-fetched...like cross-shopping a 370z and a Z06...

I had a budget of 80K and was looking at all angles. This is like if I had a budget of 40K and was cross-shopping a Z06. Total 180*.


Actually, I'm still shopping the 370Z. Just waiting for the platform to mature and then I will probably down-size, move, and trade in the Z06 for one. Love the car, just waiting to see where Nissan is going to take the powerplant.

+1, the NSX has a lot of history, engineering, and most important was MADE TO BE DRIVEN. I retract my C5Z06 plan. NSX FTW!

First you have to find one in decent condition. You're probably looking at an early 90s model if you do. It could be a fantastic toy for that money, but how expensive to maintain, and how frequently can you expect a 20 yr old car to break down?

That said, if you're passionate about turning wrenches, maybe this is the way to go. And that's not a slam. Some folks love project cars. If I was into that, a 91 NSX would be great! But I'd rather have modern tech and less garage time.

Yeah, NSx would be a bitch. You could find a decent 93 or so, but not worth it to me
